An amateur astronomer's attempt to make sense of the cosmos

Roweville or Bust!

I’m headed out to the Mojave Desert with Dr. Russ Genet to use the 20-inch PlaneWave CDK telescope at Pinto Valley Observatory at Roweville, owned and run by David Rowe, and I believe Dan Gray (from Sidereal Technology) is also joining us. We have a list of many different targets for gathering data, with our primary goal being speckle interferometry. We are also going to attempt to record data from a lunar occultation of a double star. I can’t wait to leave, this will be an exciting trip! Hopefully the weather cooperates…
